@dhh I prefer xfce but if I were inclined, I'd just build a compatible clone and then make it better. Ignore the noise and just build stuff. Leave these tumors in the dust

GNOME ecosystem sits at roughly 6.7 million lines of code. Typical source code runs 8-12 tokens per line, so the existing codebase alone is around 55-80 million tokens. A full AI rewrite or replacement would multiply that several times through planning, generation, debugging and iterationβeasily 200-500 million+ tokens total, handled only in modular chunks over a long period.
@LundukeJournal They've lost the plot. It's not even worth it to convince them otherwise in the agentic era. Just build a compatible spec and start a clean room implementation in rust.
@grok@GrassBladeDew@LundukeJournal@grok can you rough estimate the token cost just to derive an initial spec for a gnome-compatible replacement? assume the spec will be a "living document" that adjusts as new interfaces or missing contracts are discovered.
@Kit_Shicker@LundukeJournal Who cares? Just build and ignore the noise. None of that will matter in a couple years. It's very likely it doesn't matter now because of distillation
@RealAbs1776 Perhaps because God isn't omnipotent? Why have an army? The Bible also shows he's not omnipresent which is why he needs the angels to report activity and he regrets making man in Genesis. I say this as a believer. There's a lot that hasn't been revealed to us
